Tablet connecting a server miles from home

My tablet is quite slow with the speeds yet my mobile is very quick. So I did a broadband speed test the tablet is connected to a server 200 miles away. Any ideas

Re: Tablet connecting a server miles from home

Hi @gooleys   I am going to guess that you are using a non-BT Speedtest, something like Ookla Speedtest. If this is the case then you change the test server closer to home if you want. 200 miles away is nothing in the scheme of the Internet and should be as good as next door.

Note for a real speed test use the My BT App speed test which shows you the speed to your hub rather than to your tablet.
